Part-time Caregiver Needed

Part time female Caregiver needed.
I am a quadriplegic and professor at the U of A. 
This is a great job for pre-med or nursing students since you get lots of hands on clinical experience in a relaxed environment. I must admit I write several letters of recommendation a year for my gals going on to med school, nursing school, PA school and they get in. 
There are four hour shifts in the morning (8am-12pm) and three hour shifts in the evening (6pm-9pm). Right now I need someone that is available on Saturday morning and evening, and Monday evening. 
Some care-giving experience recommended, although I do intensive training for my needs. 
Must have a car. I am flexible and will work with your schedule. Near Speedway Blvd and Alvernon Road. 
Please call 520-419-5924.  Do not send a text message.

The Collective Health company is hiring


Hi Wildcats,

My company is hiring, and UofA grads make excellent fits!

I work at Collective Health, a health-tech company that is creating the healthcare experience we all deserve from the ground-up and launching a new Operations hub in Salt Lake City! The company is 5 years old and growing quickly. Our Operations team is the engine of the business, operating the core processes that power our business. We’re backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley who believe that we’re the right people for this daunting job.

In my time with CH, I've had an opportunity to grow both my strategic and technical skills, work with phenomenal people, and learn the ins and outs of the US healthcare and health insurance system. My team is growing and looking for intellectually curious and self-motivated people with 0-4 years of experience to help us drive towards our mission.

We’re hiring several people for these two roles in Salt Lake City, with start dates ranging from March-November 2019:
If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to chat - you can reach out to me at aileen.palmer@collectivehealth.com. If you’re interested, I can also make sure to get your application in front of the recruiter ASAP.

P.S. Here’s a Wall Street Journal article that explains a little more what we do, and why we’re their No. 2 Tech Company to Watch!
